Homework
We do have homework Monday thru Thursday in Kindergarten, which means it is returned Friday Morning. Homework will vary. Usually it will be one page of phonics or handwriting, one page of math and sight word study. Homework should take no more than 20 minutes a night. If your child is struggling completing it please contact me. Homework assignments are checked for completeness and accuracy. You can find all homework assignments on the wiki pages.


Birthdays
We welcome Birthday celebrations in Kindergarten. I am asking you to PLEASE refrain from purchasing cupcakes for our class. Mini cupcakes, pretzel nuggets, cookies, ice cream cups are all fine. Ideally, I would prefer a healthy snack. Please be sure to clear the date with me or Mrs. Kulp. You are welcome to come in at snack time to celebrate with the class and bring a special story from home to read to the class as well. Your child will be given our class mascot for the week and the journal that comes with him. Each child will have the opportunity to draw and write in the journal.


Volunteers --All volunteers must complete the criminal and child abuse background checks. Even if you only come to one event. __ChildYouthProtection.org__ is the link. Contact Mary Riccaboni with any questions.
